With proper grub in their bellies, they'll be ready to tackle any challenge that comes their way! So, let’s feast like the true school lunch pirates we are and make this week a bountiful haul! Avast, let’s dig in! 🍎🏴☠️
#NSLW24 Find Your Treasure!


Screen-free week has been amazing this week! On Tuesday, Ms. Phelix led a mighty family chorus night. They warmed up, learned 3 songs, and had a blast together. Thanks to all who came out and sang with our Generals. #BelongGrowSucceed #AACPSAwesome


It's Friday! Congratulations to our 4-Star Praise recipients. #BelongGrowSucceed #AACPSAwesome

The next meeting of the Innovative School Scheduling Workgroup established by Superintendent of Schools Dr. Mark Bedell will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, October 14, 2024, in the Board Room of the Parham Building, located at 2644 Riva Road in Annapolis.
The workgroup has been created to engage stakeholders in a robust conversation regarding school scheduling in Anne Arundel County Public Schools (AACPS) and to consider innovative school scheduling models for implementation in AACPS. It consists of AACPS staff, elected officials, and representatives from community organizations.
Meetings are open to the public and public feedback on innovative school scheduling in AACPS and the work of the workgroup is encouraged. Individuals will be able to provide comment in person or virtually at the end of each workgroup meeting. A total of five speakers will be permitted to speak for three minutes each. Written comment may also be submitted to Grace Wilson, Senior Legislative and Policy Specialist, at gawilson1@aacps.org.
As the group’s work progresses, more information will be posted at www.aacps.org/schedulingworkgroup. Those who cannot attend meetings in person can watch virtually through links found on that page.
